Game bar won't come up

Hello HealingPrince4,

Incorrect configuration setting is one of the potential reasons why Game bar won't show up when you press WIN+G. To help you resolve this concern, I need to collect more information. Kindly answer the questions below:

• When did the issue start?
• Have you made any changes on your device prior to this concern?
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

Meanwhile, I recommend that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps. This can help remove problems with an app from Microsoft Store. To proceed, you may refer to the link below:

hiya,

Sometimes the size of a window won't be compatible with the game bar and it will keep the gamebar from opening, are you able to open up the game bar? Or will it just not load?

cheers,

I see, type the name of the game in the search bar and see if it comes up or not.

At least you get a new game. It's July second here and it's the same two games. Guacamelee doesn't even turn up in the search bar. Microsoft really hate Ireland for some reason. They won't enable the Kinect here and we are second class when it comes to apps
and free games.

I don't see anything to complain about over there.

In the right hand pane, check if you see this exact item:

{EDC0FE71-98D8-4F4A-B920-C8DC133CB165}

If so, double click that and set its value to:

%USERPROFILE%\Videos\Captures

If you do not see that in the right hand pane, right click in an empty part of the right hand pane and choose New - 'Expandable String Value'

Paste this as its name:

{EDC0FE71-98D8-4F4A-B920-C8DC133CB165}

Then double click that new string and set its value as:

%USERPROFILE%\Videos\Captures

Close the Registry Editor and restart your PC.
